UMA Release Notes

...

Previously, little was said about privacy implications of requesting party claims being transmitted to the AS. Now this section has been greatly expanded. (211) (Core Sec 8.2)

Changes Affecting Resource Server (+Client) Implementations

Following are specification changes in V1.0.1 that affect resource servers, and possibly clients that interact with them as well (denoted with (+Client) in the title).

...

Previously, the security considerations around accepting policy-setting context information from an incompletely trusted AS were not covered. Now they cover the user_access_policy_uri property, which is the only policy-setting context information passed from AS to RS. (185) (RSR Sec 4)

Specification Reorganizations

The specifications, particularly Core Sec 3, were reorganized in the fashion of OpenID Connect, with the goal of giving a subsection to every request and response message. Other notable changes include:

  • Several “commentary” subsections were added, such as Core Sec 3.2.2 discussing permission ticket creation and management, and RSR Sec 2.1.2 discussing scope interpretation.
  • A new section, Core Sec 9.2, registers the permissions property in the new OAuth token introspection IANA registry (this is in addition to its registration in the JWT claims registry).
  • Core Sec 7.4.1 breaks out the new, more extensive security considerations discussion of pushed claims.
  • Core Sec 8 now has subsections to make privacy considerations easier to find and understand.

V1.0 sections (black) are presented in original Table of Contents order, mapped to their corresponding draft V1.0.1 sections (green).
